Design Anthology UK, Issue 19

Design Anthology UK is a triannual print magazine spotlighting the best of design, architecture, art, travel and style across Europe. As with Design Anthology, our sister publication in Asia, we combine the highest production values with thought-provoking content, setting a new standard for premium design and lifestyle titles in the UK.

When we were shaping ideas for the inaugural issue, we asked two questions: What is our point of view? And, when there are countless other magazines covering design in Europe: Why now? The answer is fairly straightforward. We believe there is room for a new kind of considered, premium title that champions quality, beauty and innovative thinking.

Each issue is put together by our network of writers, photographers, editors and stylists – all bound by a commitment to creativity and candor. Far from a glossy catalogue to be discarded, Design Anthology UK is a collectible volume made by people who are passionate about print.

In this issue:

Issue 19 of Design Anthology UK is on newsstands over the holidays and into the darker, quieter months where we all want to curl up with magazines and a coffee. The world is looking for escape and inspiration, which is what D/A UK 19 provides. We adventure to the wilds of Scotland to visit a nature reserve and the thoughtfully-designed lodgings it holds; we visit the jutting forms of Portugal’s CAM gallery designed by Kengo Kuma; we explore Studio KO’s foray into the world of online galleries and retail; we tour homes in Venice, Ireland and London that are as delightful as they are unique; we interview designer Stephanie Barba Mendoza about her cultural obsessions; Lucy McKenzie’s art and of course, all the hotel openings and events on the art calendar that our readers need to know about. Enjoy.
